Been watching for 3yrs now...no plans on quitting...love all your vids, Craigtalk, Craigtube,and Craig's Kitchen...they are the best!! Cant wait to see all your new vids in 2012....Keep it up Craig!!! :) PS..like many others ....I began brewing because of you!!! and I love it!!! :)
Great year Craig. The wife and I look forward to everyone of your videos. I even started making some of my own which got my friends involved in home brewing. Love it, look forward to another great year!!!
The Coopers DIY kit that I did the video about is perfect and you can brew any beer with it. Even All Grain if you get that far. I recommend it. I believe the banner on my website, about half way down, links strait to the DIY kit, or your local home brew shop might carry it. My website... craigfarraway (dot) com
Oops, sorry. Craig, what is the best homebrew kit for beginners? Do you recommend the coopers kit for beginners? Are you able to use other mixes from other companies aka other styles and flavors? Thanks! I'm so glad I found your channel! I can't wait for your response.
Hey Craig, great video, hope your cold gets better...I think those shots of smirnoff will chase that bugger away for sure....As your mom said awhile ago in one of your videos - you looked like you were "half in the bag" .. lol .. Good times ;)
Cheers Craig! have a happy and prosperous New year friend!
My very first batch is now in its 4th day of fermentation and there seems to be a lot of sediment in the bottom of the fermenter!!! Is this normal and if not what can i do ?????
Happy New Year Fella! Been enjoying all your stuff for 6 months now. My 1st ever batch (Coopers English Bitter) is ready to be tested! Thanks for all your words of wisdom. From Middlesbrough with Love... Ps Would be interested to know if you've ever tried Theakstons Old Peculiar?
Hi Craig! I've been watching your channel for over a year now and finally signed up on YouTube so I could post a comment. I enjoy watching your vids and thanks to you I started brewing! I have made over 15 batches, some good. Some great. Some not so good. Extract kits, some partials and a couple all grain. I made the Brewer's Best American Cream Ale shortly after watching your video... awesome brew. Thank you for putting these videos together, they are a pleasure to watch! Happy New Year!
Happy New Years!!! THANKS for all the entertaining vids this year! Looking forward to 2012 vids! Get some shrimp with garlic and butter for New years Eve goes good with any stout or Chocolate Bock!!!
Thanks for the great video Craig! Keep up the good work. I haven't tried the Amarillo yet but will soon. Happy Holidays and now I have to find my vodka bottle to keep up with the Craig and then off for some turkey to make soup......jeez you keep me busy!
Freakin A Craig!! I havent watched one of your videos in months.. I'm getting caught up now with a nice 6 pack of Brooklyn IPA! I Missed you man! Hope your holidays were super great! I hope you have the most trippiest, OUT OF THE ORDINARY, incredibley FUN 2012!!!!!!!! Best wishes to you and yours! Kev
Hi Craig - I've got an APA in the secondary now and am thinking of tossing in some sweet orange peel for a few days before bottling. I know most brewers add the orange peel at the end of the wort boil when they use it for flavoring, but could it be added to the secondary for a sort of "dry hop(peel)"? Other readers feel free to chime in
I just did an extract amarillo APA. It's a great beer. I used 1 lb of crystal 40L and 6 lbs of the northern brewer gold malt extract. Then I used 2 total ounces of amarillo. Small amount for bittering and then I started gradually adding the rest at 20 minutes left in the boil. Then I used 1 more ounce of the hops as a dry hop after the fermentation was complete.
I love turkey soup as well. I started smoking turkey a couple of years ago and I didn't realize what a wonderful surprise the smoke added to my soup.. in a word... GREAT
Craig glad my package made it over the boarder. Sorry i forgot the letter on my desk i wanted to include in the box. "alls well that ends well" they say. Enjoy the xmas ale and other assorted goodies. Happy holidays and i hope to join you this weekend! Thanks buddy! -Frank
hes really getting awesome at what he does, like you had all these cooks in our area that did this type of thing, and you know hes getting there i hope to see him on a cooking show but since its youtube they throw it away. I hate that, I have seen cooking shows with the most annoying guys, put yourself out there again craig you are what we want to see. what else could we ask for beer and cooking, smartest thing ever.better then then cooking with yan.
Amarillo hops....love them. Compared to other hops, they contain one of the highest amounts of myrcene. Myrcene is one of the many oils in hops that can contribute to outstanding flavor and aroma. Amarillo also is very low in cohumulone (another hop oil), which tends to give hops some harshness or somewhat unpleasant "bite". The combination of these factors results in a hop that bursts with flavor/aroma and not all the jagged unwanted hop characteristics.
Hahaha, shots of vodka just tend to happen sometimes, lol. Cheers Craig, great vid as always, and I always look forward to your next vid/broadcast, 17 my friend!
Great job Craig, I have enjoyed this year with you on Justin.TV and Youtube. I looked forward to another year with you and the brewing family. Again thanks SO much for all you do. Friends and Cheers!
HEY! you need to talk to me before casting on Saturday night,ha,ha J/k buddy,I actually won't be casting as I'm going to be family this New Years eve,But maybe I will cast on friday instead or I don't know anyway great video! Happy HBW,cheers!
@jakeanddar Hehe I'd never step on your toes my friend. :) I heard you say that you wouldn't be casting on Sat. Neither is Maineyak. I suppose that leaves it up to me, but it might not be until after midnight here. We'll see. Cheers!
looking forward to your new years cast craig, the turkey soup sounds great ,i hope you do a craigs kitchen with it ,may you and your family have great new year, keep up the good work from 4mcwatt7(sean)
hey craig, i am kinda new to your videos, but you gave me ther tools i need to start brewing my own beer. i have my third one ready to bottle just a question, how long to you leave it in the bottle before drinking it?
Thanks a lot for the great videos this year! I brewed 2 batches of beer and one batch of white wine this year (autumn,) because of your videos. And next year I will start with a Ruby Red. :) Greetings from Norway.
I have an unopened 'Coopers Selection Heritage Lagar' here that will be my first ever brew (I found out it needs malt so Ive to drive for over 3 hours tomorrow to get that from my HB warehouse). Ive a second HB here called 'Brupaks Germany Bavarian Weissbier' which comes with a bag of real grains & a bag of real hops. Im hoping to upload a HB video but dont think I'll be going in front of the camera :D Many many thanks to you Craig, Immolateus, Terpsichoreankid & everyone in the HB community :D
Thanks for the all the great videos this year Craig! I'm doing a partial mash with East Kent Goldings fresh hops for aroma tomorrow, coupled with the Coopers Irish Stout kit you reviewed a while back. I hope it turns out as good as yours!
Going to brew my first Mead. I got the ingredients from Homebrew Heaven in Everett Washinton USA store(DOT)homebrewheaven(DOT)com/nectar-of-the-gods-mead-kit-p550(DOT)aspx
@Jacobsbrew Sorry, the above is a link to the kit I got as a christmas present. Just replace the (DOT) with . of course. Or just google Homebrew Heaven Everett WA
I know you've talked about mead before but I dont think you done a batch yet?
Thanks Craig! I really appreciate the time you put in to make great videos. They have helped my brewing procedures and opened me to new ideas about brewing. Take it easy and Happy New Year!
Hi Craig, can you provide a recipe for your Amarillo beer? Cheers Mate
